You're not going to believe this. Last night I came home from another trip to the hospital. Tuesday, I was visited by the diabetes nurse, and when she checked my blood pressure sitting and standing, it had dropped while standing. I was very dizzy and almost fell over. The nurse called my ecologist and my PCP. She told them about it. The PCP called me after the nurse left and told me to go to the hospital. It turns out I was dehydrated, and it exasperated my stroke symptoms. They finally let me go home after I promised to keep hydrated.

Well, there was one thing I'll say about my stay in the hospital, at least this time for my roommate was nice.

When they me asked if I've ever fallen, I had to tell the truth. I've fallen twenty times and received concussions from them. The nurse said,"WHAT?" I then went to the restroom and when I came out the nurse and nurse's aide were putting a yellow blanket in the bed and a yellow paper on my boards. They then proceeded to put yellow socks on me and a wristband that read "FALL RISK" on it.

Blood pressure can be tricky sometimes. You really need to hire people to carry you around lol

LMAO!

Well, I'm seeing every week: two Home Care Nurses(one visiting nurse, via the hospital and one from my insurance company), PT, Dietician, Cardiologist, and a Neurologist. Hopefully soon, I'll lose one nurse and the PT, but I still need to make four other medical visits. Arrrrgh! Well, that's it for now. Bye, bye

P.S. I'm sorry I've not been on in a while, between the stroke symptoms, medical visits and PC problems, I've not been able to get online. Hugs all.

Thanks everyone for your well wishes. I'll be seeing the Neurologist on Monday and I've have to call the Cardiologist back. I need to let him know, that the heart monitoring company hasn't sent me the monitor setup yet or even called me to confirm my address... sheesh. Anyhoo, thanks again for the well wishes.
